Hey guys so I decided to build my own desktop for the first time and would really value any of your experts comments on my hardware choices and any compatibility issues!

The main purpose of this desktop is audio production, light to moderate video editing and moderate to heavy gaming. By moderate to heavy gaming I mean that I'm not fussed about pushing the latest and greatest titles to the absolute perfect maximum, but I want to be able to play new titles at high settings without any problems.

Note: I can expand the budget if there's a part that would make a massive difference!

Out of these I am least sure about the PSU, Case and Motherboard....but yeah any advice or input from you experts is much appreciated!!

Arjy, no clue if you can take advantage of this deal, but [ BuyDig has the 840 250GB for $160] in the US right now. The 500GB version is at $295 right now too. Pretty good deal if you can take advantage of it, otherwise sorry for rubbing it in your face

Don't forget an optic drive and RAM Arjy, that's about it. You might need to grab an extra SATA cable, but otherwise, shouldn't have any dramas.

This is significantly cheaper than the OCZ600MXSP (which I'm finding for ~£60), but is actually significantly better IMO (apart from not being modular) and more than enough for a build with a single GTX 660:OCZ ZS Series 550W (£52 @ Ebuyer)http://skinflint.co.uk/631078
